Kids, Snapping To Attention A review of “Secret Games” by Wendy Ewald, at the Corcoran in Washington:
More about life than art, this retrospective surveys the career of a pioneering documentary photographer who gave cameras to small groups of disadvantaged children in the United States and developing nations to learn what they were thinking and to encourage them to express themselves. She taught them to look at their own lives, their families, their communities, and to write about and photograph them. She also encouraged them to tap into their dreams and fantasies, and in dirt-poor places like Appalachia and Chiapas, Mexico, she struck creative gold.
